Hi Neighbours, summer’s coming and you’re probably thinking about taking a holiday break, or just break up the day to day routine! Go Kiwi Go offers amazing volunteer, gap and holiday experiences. From working with orphans in Nepal, to diving in Mexico; working with the elephants in Thailand, refugees in Greece, to big cats in Africa, we have projects that are really making a difference.

Anyone over 18 can do a project with Go Kiwi Go, our oldest participant so far has been 75! But don’t take our word for it, check out our blog page!

“I would recommend to anyone if you want to make a difference to sign up and do some volunteer work with Go Kiwi Go, you will not regret it!” Jasper from Wellington in Nepal.

So visit our website and check out all the projects and where you can go, or give us a call 0800 600 300 or email info-newzealand@afs.org

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
